Come join us on Thanksgiving morning for our 12th annual Thanksgiving Day race! Run For Pie has become one of Santa Cruz County's favorite holiday traditions. Bring the whole family (or your pet turkey) out to run or walk a 5K. Run for Pie also includes a 1/2 mile Turkey Chase Race for kids. All participants get a slice of pumpkin pie at the finish. This event will benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Soquel High School Track Team. With the high demand for this race every year, we have decided to cap registrations, so be sure to register your friends and family before our race sells out!

Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County reaches 55,000 people EVERY MONTH. We are proud to partner with this community organization to help provide meals to those in need in Santa Cruz County. When you register, you have the option to donate to Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County. Please consider donating just $1 which provides 3 meals for someone in need. If you would like to donate, there will be a link at registration.

Kids 1/2 Mile: All proceeds from this race will go to Second Harvest Food Bank. We are hoping to donate over 12,000 meals this year!

Pie Mile Relay: All proceeds from this race will go towards the Soquel High School Track Team

How to register for the Pie Mile Relay: The relay will consist of 4 individuals and each individual will need to register. When you are registering for this specific race, place your first name and next to your last name place your team name. This way we can keep track of full teams.
